Like the Wind is an inspiring story. We get to see Olivia and Tyler overcome adversity. I thought the characters were realistic and relatable. The author really captured the attitude and behavior of a teenager. There are diary entries from a journal Emma finds mixed in with some props at the local community theater (from 1930s). I enjoyed the historical diary entries with their faith messages. I like how the diary tied to the present. There are inspirational messages sprinkled throughout the story that are enlightening. We are reminded that His love is everlasting. We get to see Olivia and Tyler overcome their pasts with love, understanding, and faith. The ending is lovely. Like the Wind is an uplifting tale with a discordant divorce, adolescent angst, an old diary, a captivating PI, an interfering grandfather, and a remarkable romance.
